I did the same thing at an Allman Brothers show back in 2003.

Yes..yes and you bought a board mix cranked out without any care or attention to detail.
Patience people. MMJ would rather sit on it than poop it out just for a buck.

Phish has a totally different infrastructure than MMJ or The Black Crowes.

I didn't mean to imply that it was an inferior product but merely stating that they don't have a simultaneous engineer to mix in tandem like Phish.  That said, when a band delays a live upload to remix, your more likely to get a live album quality as opposed to a bootleg board matrix mix.

Actually, you are dead wrong as that recording sounds great.  Also, for the record every LivePhish release is essentially live album quality and it takes them 30 minutes to mix it.  This one month shit is for the birds.

Point taken.  Phish clearly sets the benchmark for live show downloads as they basically started the service back in 2003.  I don't expect MMJ to live up to that...I guess ultimately I am just jonesin' for the tunes.

When TOOGANS talks, people should listen.  Also, patience is a virtue.  I'm anxious for these recordings, but refuse to ruin my experience getting worked up about it.  I'd rather Ryan et al take the time to release a great final mix then rush something out. 
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

To be clear.  What is being delivered in 30 minutes is likely a sbd/aud mix.  There is no way a two + hour show can be remixed and rendered in 30 minutes, Unless someone is mixing in tandem from a truck or split.  30 min is about the minimum about of time to do indexing and export only.

MMJ has a one man operation at the moment in terms of FOH and archival post releases.  Things will speed up as our operation and the demand for live releases grow.

Again, not that mad about the overall time it took in a vaccuum. They are just getting started on this live download game, and considering how long we went without ANY sort of releases like this earlier in the band's career, I'll take what I can get in however long it takes them to make it happen.

It's just a LITTLE frustrating to be told the release date and then have it change, not once, but twice. If it takes them a month, so be it, but if you don't have the resources to meet a self-imposed target date, don't state the target date.

I'm guessing that both licensure and editing issues are creating the delay.  They need to not only clear licenses for covers, but also live performance issues with Bobby and Wayne.  I'm sure everyone's cool, but the damn lawyers, ya know?

actually this part is essentially false.  You don't need lawyers, you don't need to clear licenses or anything of that nature.  Phish is a band that plays tons of covers every night, often new ones not previously played, and the live recordings are available immediately.  It's my understanding that a minimal royalty is paid (I'm seriously talking cents per song per download). You pay this to whoever holds the publishing rights to a song...not the original artist.  And no permission or license is required. 

Additionally, no way Bobby or Wayne are causing the delay.   There really is no logical reason why these aren't available yet.

that said, I totally agree with Fully on this one.  Y'all need to chill and simmah down nah!

Whats so wrong w Facebook? I find it a great way to connect with old friends I haven't spoken with in a long time. Its a great way to share photos of my kids with my family all over the country. And I love the private groups one of which revolves around MMJ and One Big Holiday. Because of that group I've now made an awesome new group of friends in different parts of the world. Obviously I'm still here in this forum, but it is VERY antiquated.

downloads are up... waiting for codes now....
